Information for Parents

The School District of Palm Beach County implements a Standards Based Elementary Report Card. This type of report card identifies student progress toward grade level standards for Florida’s Standards and Florida Access Points Standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts and Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for all other subject areas in kindergarten through fifth grade. You will receive three report cards this school year. This report card tells you how your child is performing based on the standards which define what students should know and be able to do at each grade level.

This resource webpage is intended to help parents better understand the Standards Based marking system. Below please find links to the following resources: Presentation, Parent Information Letter, FAQs, Sample Report Cards, Standards at a Glance for Literacy, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, as well as Parent Brochures. For specific questions regarding your child's progress, please contact your child's teacher or school.

Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing. To report waste, fraud, corruption, or abuse, please call the Inspector General Hotline: (855) 561-1010.
